Chapter Twenty-Nine: Arrival
The carriage was moving at a fast speed on the official road, and Bai Qiyu, who had rested for the night, recovered his spirits, began to chat, and opened the curtain of the small window to look out secretly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wen Ying reluctantly reminded, "Miss, don't let anyone see it." ”
"Hey, you see that many people are riding horses!" Bai Qiyu was envious of this.
There are a lot of people coming and going from north to south on the official road, and the carriages and horses are also a little crowded, Bai Qiyu thinks it is quite lively, and he lifts a small half of the curtain to look out, there is a slight wind blowing, there are woods on both sides of the road, and the green dots of spring have sprouted, and the ears are full of cars and horses talking, which is not known in the mansion of Baifu, Bai Qiyu finally has some expectations for this outing, at least he can see a completely different scene from Baifu.
Suddenly there was a swift sound of horses' hooves from behind, and how happy and free it was to gallop like this!
Bai Qiyu looked back curiously, it was three horses running from behind, it was really free!
Bai Qiyu, who had been bound by the cage of Baifu for too long, was envious in his heart.
The three of them passed by Bai Qiyu's carriage in an instant, and for some reason, the person in the lead suddenly turned his head to take a look, and a pair of dark and bright eyes crashed into Bai Qiyu's eyes without warning, making her suddenly feel cold, and she suddenly closed the curtain with her hands, suppressed the voice of her throat, and patted her chest in panic.
Something flashed through my mind.
It's him?
Then he opened the curtain and looked, but he only saw that the road was dusty, and the sound of horses' hooves was long gone.
Wen Ying looked wrong and hurriedly poured her a glass of water, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay......" Bai Qiyu took the tea and drank it, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, this person's sharp eyes seemed to be different from what he saw at first sight......
The sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared, but Bai Qiyu no longer opened the curtain at random to see, and after drinking tea, he couldn't be idle, so he asked Wen Ying to take the book he brought with him before.
He walked and stopped until the evening of the thirteenth, before the gates were closed, and finally arrived.
Although separated by a curtain, the bustle and prosperity of the capital still made the people in the carriage feel a different atmosphere.
The carriage traveled down the street for most of the hour, making a few turns in between, and finally entered a quieter alley.
There was already a housekeeper waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and Mrs. Bai got out of the carriage first, and the old housekeeper and a mother-in-law who was also fifty or sixty years old called out excitedly "Madam".
Mrs. Bai hurriedly stepped forward and took the woman's hand, also with tears in her eyes, and excitedly called "Mother Zheng".
Several servant women hurriedly rushed forward to salute.
Bai Qiyu and Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun also got out of the carriage and saluted everyone, and then entered the house under the support of everyone.
Steward Zheng went to arrange the carriage cage, and Zheng's mother led everyone into the yard, while bowing to his wife, "...... The house has been tidied up according to your instructions, you still live in Graceland, a few young ladies, where is the appropriate arrangement?"
Madame Bai frowned slightly, and then ordered, "Xiao Si lives in Pear Flower Garden, Xiao Liu lives in Willow Garden, and Xiao Qi ...... Let's stay in Evian......"
"Yes, the old slave has already ordered someone to pack up, and when the carriage is unloaded, just bring everything over......"
"It's been a few years since this time......" Madame Bai looked at her with white hair, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
This Zheng housekeeper and his wife are the old housekeepers of Mrs. Bai's mother's family, and they also watched her grow up, and they are even more good to her, since Mrs. Bai's father died, there is no one close to her family, Mrs. Bai took over the closest Zheng housekeeper family to help take care of the house in the capital, the last time they met, it was three years ago that Bai Shuangyu's child turned one year old, that time, Mrs. Bai lived in the capital for more than half a year......
When they arrived at the flower hall, everyone greeted Mrs. Bai again and said a few laughs.
Mrs. Bai waved her hand tiredly, "I'm tired from a few days of driving and horses, so let's go back and rest, and rest early after eating in my own courtyard......"
Everyone sat back in the carriage for so long, and they were already tired and sore, so they naturally wanted to go back to rest as soon as possible, and immediately bowed respectfully when they heard this.
After several people left, Mrs. Bai chatted with Zheng's mother for a while, and then returned to her yard.
At this time, the whole mansion is also lit up, although I can't see it very clearly, but I can also feel that the Bai Mansion here is also very large, it seems that the Bai family is worthy of doing business, it is really rich! It's just that the appearance of the splendid cover, I am afraid that it has begun to rot, and I don't know how long this dazzling prosperous scene can last......
Bai Qiyu was thinking crankily as he looked at it.
Led by a maid, he walked for half an hour and arrived at Evian Pavilion.
The reason why it is called the pavilion is also because the courtyard here is not large, there is a lot of grass and trees around, and the house in the middle has three floors, and there is an observation deck on it.
According to Bai Qiyu's visual inspection, this Evian Pavilion is located on the corner of the north side of the White Mansion, which seems to be relatively remote, Bai Qiyu naturally doesn't care about it, the secluded residence is just right, and it is in line with her heart.
At this time, the sporadic lights lined this small courtyard very quietly, and Qiushui had already moved all the cages over, and they were cleaning up the house at this time.
Bai Qiyu let the maid go down, and took Wen Ying to look around the clean and tidy small courtyard casually, and nodded with satisfaction, seeing that Wen Ying sighed in her heart, Mrs. still arranged such a remote and narrow courtyard for Miss Qi.
When he entered the house and saw a few Qiushui, Bai Qiyu said, "Don't be busy cleaning up, let's rest first, it's not too late to clean up tomorrow." ”
Looking around, the simple furnishings made the room a little deserted, and Qiushui hurriedly said comfortingly, "Miss, your bedroom is on the second floor, do you want to go and see it first?"
Bai Qiyu smiled, "What's so good-looking, no matter how simple it is, there is still a bed to sleep in." ”
Qiu Ju said quickly, "This is far worse than our Yiting Xuan." ”
Bai Qiyu smiled optimistically, "What's wrong? Don't you see that this is a three-story building?"
A little maid came to ask when the meal would be served, and Bai Qiyu said, "Just put it away, you're all hungry." ”
When it was time to rest at night, Qiushui, who was on duty at night, suddenly said mysteriously, "Miss, I saw that person again the day before yesterday." ”
Bai Qiyu wondered, "Who did you see?
Qiushui turned over on the bed and smiled, "It's the one who saved you, it's so majestic on a horse!"
Bai Qiyu smiled, "You are sharp-eyed!"
"Hmm...... It's the first night of the guest house, the next day when we set off, Qiu Ju and I secretly lifted the curtain to look out, and saw three horses flying over, the leader was dressed in black, but unfortunately I still didn't see it clearly......"
"You mean the man on horseback......" Bai Qiyu thought of those sharp eyes again, a wide-sleeved robe with black dark gold embroidered cloud patterns, black hair tied up at the back of his head and blown up, and his young face was handsome and free...... But at a glance, I remember it so clearly...... The person who saved his body doesn't look like an ordinary person, and the inconspicuous-looking clothes alone are extremely precious materials!
Probably a rich kid, Bai Qiyu guessed.
In another place, Bai Qiyu didn't sleep well, and he dreamed all night.
One moment I dreamed that I was stuck in traffic on the way to work and I was afraid that I would miss the time and was anxious to die, and then I dreamed that I saw my parents but couldn't catch up, and then I saw my mother crying, and I also cried with me, and I also dreamed that I choked on water and struggled, and the water was warm for a while, and cold to the bone for a while......
Early the next morning, Qiushui got up and cleaned up, but found that Bai Qiyu had not moved, so he went into the inner room, and wanted to call her, but found that the eyes of the person on the bed were closed, and his face was red, so he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Miss, Miss?"
Qiushui screamed a few times, but Bai Qiyu was so confused that he couldn't wake up, and couldn't help but call the others in a panic, "Sister Wenying, Mother Gu, Miss has a fever!"
For a while, the entire Evian Pavilion was in chaos, some hurried to fetch water, some were ordered to give it to their wives, and some were flustered and at a loss......
Since Bai Qiyu woke up from falling into the water, because of good maintenance and timely exercise, his body has been very good, this is the first time since that time to be sick like this, Qiushui looked at her unconscious little face, and was also a little flustered, Wen Ying took the water brought by the maid, twisted the handkerchief and put it on her forehead, and changed the handkerchief and water from time to time......
comforted Qiu Ju and Gu's mother, who were in a hurry and panicked, "First put on a cold cloth to reduce fever, and wait for Mrs. to invite a doctor to come......"
Mrs. Bai was chatting with Wang's mother while freshening up, "I said that I sent someone here today...... I don't know if my good boy has forgotten me......"
"How can it, Sister Yun is smart, she must remember you......"
"Shuang'er, this kid is not worry-free, and he has a lot of ideas...... Alas, now that they are all mothers, I can't care about it......"
Mother Wang comforted her a few words, and was talking, but she heard the maid at the door say, "Madam, Xiu'er from Evian Pavilion came to say that Miss Seven had a fever in the morning and has been unconscious......
Mother Wang's face changed, why was she sick at this time......
Thinking about it, seeing that Madame Bai frowned slightly, her face became uneasy, and she immediately said unhappily, "Why did you fall ill just now?"
The maid outside the curtain didn't dare to say much, but just stood quietly with her head down, as if waiting for Mrs. Bai to speak.
"Let's go and ask a doctor to take a look......" Madame Bai waved her hand in annoyance and sent her subordinates away.
Wen Hui continued to comb her hair, and Wang's mother wondered, "Why did you get sick at this time......?"
Madame Bai sneered, "She will be careful, and I don't know if she is really sick or fake." ”
If Bai Qiyu heard this, he might be slandered again, he really spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, who wants to get sick if nothing happens!
After finishing grooming, Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun came over to say goodbye, and after not seeing Bai Qiyu for a long time, Bai Shihua asked casually, "Why don't you see Seventh Sister?
Madame Bai said lightly, "You will go and see it in a while, and you will say that you are sick and are asleep." ”
Although I was curious why Mrs. Bai didn't go, Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun were still respectful.
